Roman Market in Shahba

Historic Souks and Khans

The Roman market in Shahba was part of a city built in the style of typical Roman urban planning, featuring a grid of straight streets and monumental public buildings. The market extended along the main street (the Decumanus), with shops lining both sides offering a variety of goods. It was linked to the forum (public square), the theater, and the baths, indicating its integration within the urban structure.
